Pa. state car inspections

Given the cost of the inspection equpiment (20-30K for the garage for ONE set), certification required for the mechanics, and the other costs associated with the equipment, it's a ripoff for the garage.

I would give anything to have inspections in Florida again. I'm really tired of being behind some smoke blowing rattle trap that's ready to fall apart at any given moment. I used to strongly dislike the inspections when I was younger. That was back when I couldn't afford anything for the car so I had to just get by as best as I could. Bring back those pesky inspections I say!!

remember years & years ago before inspections? There was an abundance of crappy falling apart "rust buckets" as my dad used to call them. There were cars with doors and bumpers wired on, cars without bumpers, cars with smashed in side panels - not to mention the smelly clouds of fumes! Must admit, you don't see those too often anymore.

David, I am interested in how often your car has to be inspected? Like Florida, South Carolina no longer has any mandatory car inspections either. We used to have them, but they have been gone for ages. The way they were handled was a rip off, anyway. They weren't that expensive, but the repairs the mechanics found were. All for the almighty $$$$. Then there were the mechanics who didn't care and just passed as many as possible to get it overwith.

We have to have our cars inspected every year. I guess it's a good thing because it helps keep the rattle-traps off the road. I'm close enough to Ohio (which doesn't have inspections) to see old wrecks with Ohio plates here in Pa. I think some Pa. people register their cars in Ohio to avoid inspections.

One thing I am NOT looking forward to about moving to PA - yearly state car inspections.
